On Vietnam Veterans’ Day (18 August), RSL LifeCare honours the service and sacrifice of those who served during Australia’s decade-long involvement in the Vietnam War.
Over 60,000 Australians served in Vietnam from 1962 to 1973, with additional personnel from the Royal Australian Air Force returning to Vietnam in 1975 to carry out evacuations and assist refugees in the lead-up to South Vietnam's surrender.
Of those who served, 523 died and around 3,000 were evacuated with wounds, injuries or illnesses.
This year we will specifically commemorate the 60th Anniversary of the Battle of Long Tan.
RSL LifeCare invites the community to join us in recognising all who served, and in remembering those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
